It arrived with the 4.0 release of the standard, which dates the man astronaut to 2016.

Man Astronaut was approved as U+1F468 U+200D U+1F680 and shipped in Emoji 4.0 (2016). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 👨🚀 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
